We still need to go through the secure log in process, so even if a thief stole our phone, he would need to know our secure information, just as if we were logging into the website.Self Sagacityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404148735941132540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-91129630282725997662012-12-20T22:35:13.080-08:002012-12-20T22:35:13.080-08:00I hear you.

However, it would be depending on the company that you choose to do business with and their security measures too.

The change is happening and some people are just not adapting fast enough.

That way it&#39;s actually myy money and I&quot;m not running up a credit card. <br /><br />I don&#39;t have a smartphone so the app wouldn&#39;t work for me. <br /><br />I like that about making things easier and carrying less cards around, especially if you should lose a wallet or it got stolen! <br /><br />It&#39;s a great idea, it seems....unless you lose the phone :) Colette Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844522784600855200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-78097569520963853402012-12-20T12:01:06.668-08:002012-12-20T12:01:06.668-08:00I am on the fence about this.

Yeah, I know you can use an access code to keep intruders from getting to it easily, but there are a lot of smart people with even smarter technology to get at stuff you don&#39;t want gotten to. I guess you get the idea, I will NOT use an an app for this sort of thing. Now, that being said, I prefer using only one CC for all of my purchases where I can then make an online payment either through the CC website or my bank. I do not use, often that is, store CCs. I found this only complicates things for remembering who I owe what and then making sure I pay those purchases off each month without interest being tacked onto my balance. Thanks for hosting and have yourself a very Merry little Christmas!

I remove Facebook and twitter off it too. <br /><br />Having all these apps on just one phone sounds like very convenient, but knowing me always forgot my phone, I would be very worry about my personal information that are on it.Icy BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137249916575963385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-39613319533550605802012-12-20T00:51:57.762-08:002012-12-20T00:51:57.762-08:00I would love to use a phone app rather than all th...I would love to use a phone app rather than all the cards I carry.

I was tickled pink when the cashier found a coupon on my phone and got me a free pop, but I just as dismayed by a Meijer staff member the other day who did not have the foggiest idea how their coupon app worked on smart phones. Then we have to consider how the new scammers will be trying to move our money to their own pockets. Judy SheldonWalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383088026534281295noreply@blogger.com
